Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy is a cosmetic technique that targets the connective tissue in the 'mesoderm layer' ('meso' meaning 'middle' in  Greek).

Mesotherapy is a technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin. Michel Pistor, a doctor in France, developed the technique in 1952. 

A French treatment originally developed to inject medicine into subcutaneous fat; it is now widely used for skin rejuvenation, but is a  different procedure to microneedling entirely. Both mesotherapy and  microneedling involve needling techniques; however, they differ in terms of needle length, application, depth of penetration, speed of delivery  and the skin conditions they treat.

Mesotherapy combines a bespoke cocktail of powerful vitamins, which are  injected into the lower layers of the skin using a needle or a meso-gun device, whereas microneedling gently moves multiple microscopic needles over the face to cause miniscule puncture marks, activating the production of collagen and elastin.

Mesotherapy is better for skin issues that present from within the lower layers, such as dehydration and advanced ageing, because a targeted  active solution is being injected as the needle is penetrating the skin.   

Many mesotherapy solutions have a hyaluronic acid base for this reason, infusing hydration for a plumping glow from deep within the skin.
